Rico McGraw ran from the sideline onto the field to celebrate with the offense. He didn't have a helmet on. There are photos of it. After UT's INT, one of their injured players I street clothes ran way out onto the field to celebrate and no flag was thrown. Both should have been flagged as they are both technically illegal, so you can't really bitch about it.

That is a stupid fricken rule. And per usual, dawgs get fricked on the dumbest enforcement of stupid rules by incompetent overzealous refs.
Stomping, jumping, AJ's celebration, targeting calls at Vandy, we are snakebit

Too bad one of our coaches didn't get out there and defend the pass. Apparently that is ok too...

Jonathan Ledbetter also ran out there, maybe they thought the game was over, maybe they're just impulsive idiots, idk.
